"I think they are bitter
""The sprouts should be mixed with other feed, like hay, as they are too concentrated a food to be taken alone, and also because they are apt to be refused on account of the bitter taste, to which cattle, however, gradually become accustomed. The value of malt sprouts, as feed, is calculated, on the strength of the analysis, to be about five times as great as that of hay. They are not, however, paid for to the full of their value.
If they cannot be utilized for feeding purposes they may serve as an excellent fertilizer on account of their nitrogenous components, and the ash which is almost entirely made up of phosphoric acid and potash.
The amount of malt sprouts is about 3 per cent of the weight of the malt produced.
